LEARN TO KNIT with Craig McDonald
Sunday, May 20th, 2012, 10am-1pm, $35.00

There is something magical about taking yarn and watching it become fabric before your very eyes. This class is for those who have never knitted AND for those who need a refresher.

TUNISIAN CROCHET with Jean Ruben
Sunday, May 20th, 2012, 1-4pm, FREE Class

The old fashioned afghan stitch has a new name- it's called Tunisian Crochet. It is the latest trend that is new and exciting in crochet. It's a cross between knitting and crochet, done with a long hook, for making garments, rugs, and throws. It's easy to learn and even better, it's FUN!!!! Join me for a new experience in creating with fiber. I'll have beautiful handmade Maple Tunisian crochet hooks available for purchase. Students must call and register since there's a limit of 8. Come in at 12:30 to purchase class supplies on the day of the class. I'll also have yarn for you to use while you practice.
